11 Worst Cities in the US to Retire

2) Worcester, Massachusetts

Worcester is a historic Massachusetts town that many retirees could easily appreciate for its political legacy, however much likes its neighbors, the city suffers from outrageously cold winters and extremely high living costs. State taxes rank within the country’s top five highest locations, and the cost of real estate is through the roof, making Worcester far from budget-friendly. When it comes to attractions, entertainment, and educational opportunities analyzing the art and culture of the city, Worcester has tons of options ranging from the iconic Salisbury Mansion and Store to botanical gardens and other key locations dating back to the Revolutionary War. Access to healthcare is among the city’s few benefits for retirees, however the city’s overall cultural presence is lacking in modern and diverse influence, which is likely due to the significance of it hosting the first reading of the Declaration of Independence.
